Well... Where to begin?
I tipped Italy to win the worldcup... Oh how wrong I was (I support them too). One team I wasn;t surprised by was Turkey. To me, they are THE MOST under rated team in the world. They play lovely, attacking, and might I say flowing football. Their defence isn;t even half bad either. Sas, Basturk and Tuguy are class acts, and I really do think they have a great chance against Brazil, it will be a great match.
Moving onto the Korea-Germany match. Somehow, this all too obvious feeling in my head is tellinng me that Korea will be the ones to progress into the finals. I wonder why
.
I, like others, do believe there was a conspiracy. It wasn't just obvious in the games that Korea had participated in, but also games in which they didn't. Look at Italy's games in their group stage. How many decisions went against them? How many goals disallowed? I believe that 'most unknown' referees were instructed to see the 'best' teams out. But Italy did progress.
Now... onto other things. I well and truy believe that the winner of the Brazil-Turkey match will go onto to win the cup. The reason I predict Turkey to beat Brazil is because Brazil has a suspect defence, or rather, has NO defence, and will ultimately be split open by a much improved Turkey (a team which KEEPS ON improving). It will be a test of 'who can score more', and because Turkey has a much better defence that Brazil, and an attack which could match Brazil's on it's day, they should be able to go through.
